Remember those classic, but profane lines from: Good Fellas? Now the guy’s got Paulie as a partner. Any problems, he goes to Paulie. Trouble with the bill? He can go to Paulie. Trouble with the cops, deliveries, Tommy, he can call Paulie. But now the guy’s gotta come up with Paulie’s money every week, no matter […]

One of the biggest mistakes liberals tend to make is assuming a static response from the people being taxed. This is a big mistake, particularly when you’re talking about the rich. The rich – being rich – have lots of options. They can hire the best accountants to find loopholes, hire lobbyists to create loopholes, […]

Who says conservatives don’t love the arts? Take Glenn Beck’s latest masterwork for example, “Obama in Pee-Pee.” Of course, Beck didn’t go all the way and use actual pee-pee to shock the masses, which is what art is apparently all about these days, but what do you expect from these rightwingers?

The two “D’s,” debt and dependency, are taking America down the path towards doom. You already know about the debt, but you: may not have realized quite how bad the dependency has gotten. As quantitied, and explained by Alexander, “the single mom is better off earning gross income of $29,000 with $57,327 in net income & […]

That’s the question: William Baldwin asks: and if the answer is “yes,” it might be time to start thinking about your options. Thinking about buying a house? Or a municipal bond? Be careful where you put your capital. Don’t put it in a state at high risk of a fiscal tailspin. Eleven states make our list of […]

It appears another issue of disagreement has surfaced in regard to the negotiations over the so-called “fiscal cliff”. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday that Social Security is one entitlement program that should be addressed on a “separate track.” “We should address the drivers of the deficit and Social Security currently is not a […]

By John Hawkins TPNN Contributor It’s impossible to repeal Obamacare when the Democrats control the Senate and the White House, but that doesn’t mean we have to take the destruction of the American healthcare system lying down. Instead of a frontal assault, it’s time to take a page from Ghandi and engage in a little […]

My line on secession is the same as it always has been, which is that the question of whether states have a right to secede was decided during the Civil War and the answer was “No.” ….Calling for secession was, is and for the very immediate future, will probably continue to be a fringe position.

“Liberals hate religion because politics is a religion substitute for liberals and they can’t stand the competition.” –: Ann Coulter The sort of mindless hero worship liberals engage in with politicians is a bit outside the reality of most normal people. Even Republicans, who think Ronald Reagan was the greatest, bestest, dreamiest politician ever wouldn’t say […]

By John Hawkins TPNN Contributor The Left has turned colleges in America into propaganda factories that are just as geared towards cranking out liberal voters as educating students. In order for this system to be feasible, it requires rank discrimination against conservative professors for their political beliefs in positions where politics should be irrelevant. If: Teresa […]

The Democrats may obsess over race, fail to understand basic economics and be incapable of governing, but they have learned one key lesson that Republicans just can’t seem to grasp: Winning in politics is all about being on offense. It doesn’t matter how good your explanations are; if you’re spending all your time on defense, […]
